As I said, Rohan Dennis (Jumbo-Visma) was looking like he was about to attack in the previous painting. And he had enough power left to get away from his breakaway companions. He just managed to have time to celebrate even as Jay Vine (UAE Team Emirates) tried as hard as he could to catch the Australian. On his wheel and hidden by him is Mauro Schmid (Soudal-Quickstep) finishing in third. Simon Yates (Jayco-AlUla) and Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) finished out the placings just a mere eleven seconds ahead of the fast closing peloton lead home by Caleb Ewan (UniSA-Australia). With the ten second time bonus Dennis will be pulling on the next Ochre Jersey with a lead of just three seconds over Vine, a second less than the time bonus difference between first and second place on the stage.
